“The players are not the only ones at fault”

US Concarneau coach Stéphane Rossi spoke after his team's defeat at home against DFCO this Friday, November 8 as part of the 12th day of the National.

“The players are not the only ones at fault. I have a share of responsibility in the organization that I put in place at the start. You have to know how to recognize your wrongs. I take this defeat personally. After the goal, I changed organization. I was already thinking about it at half-time. I added an attacker. I stuck to their diamond in the middle. We had an opposing midfielder who took over ours. We were too far away from each other in the first half, we were chasing the ball and when we had it, we couldn't use it. We saw two faces. One until the fiftieth minute, and the other after the changes.

With energy and change, we tried to come back. We have a great opportunity. Then the match got a little sleepy because I think we lacked a little energy. It's a setback. We realized when we changed organization we really put them in difficulty. We were fortunate to equalize straight away and we felt that the tide had turned for us. And the more it progressed, the more chances we had of scoring this second goal. But we suffered a counterattack after a loss of ball and a strike from thirty meters. If we only analyze the last forty minutes, I think the draw is deserved. It's a setback. This is the match where we suffered the most, in the first 50 minutes. And then we competed.

I didn't want to adapt to the opponent and make him feel stronger by changing the system. Since the beginning, we have always evolved in the same way and it has been quite successful for us. It's an ego problem too. It is clear that we were forced to change and I would have liked us to be rewarded. »
